(2006-02-03) — The Democrat National Committee (DNC) responded to today’s news of another drop in joblessness by warning that overworked Americans might be “too tired to shop,” thus sending the economy into a tailspin. (...) “George Bush’s tax cuts and other failed economic policies continue to sap the energy of potential shoppers,” said DNC Chairman Howard Dean. “Wages are up, but people are working so hard that they have no time to spend that money. It’s a recipe for disaster.” (...)

Warning - Scrappleface :-)

Good one!!

[Semper Paratus]

Dropped before they shopped.

Rush is right. Humor has to have a ring of truth to be truly funny. I admit that without the Scrappleface warning, I was ready to post an entirely different reply.

Dang it, they get me every time. I think the outrageous statements in the teaser paragraph are true because the Dems are so prone to saying this kind of tripe.

The Hildebeast will organize a strike to last until the 08 election.

Excellent, this guy must surf DU to come up with this stuff.

[Froufrou]

You mean that wasn't really Screamin' Dean?

[dfwgator]

Almost had me suckered in. LOL, as they say good satire is based on truth.

[Blood of Tyrants]

LOL! DU will be suing for copyright infringement next.

Me too.

Something about some people can see a dark cloud for every silver lining...

With all their boycotts, is there anything safe to shop for?

[SteveMcKing]

There are certain jobs where this is true. Surgeons, for example... they buy big houses but don't have the time to landscape and furnish them.

I wouldn't call it a "problem" though, more of an irony.

OUTSTANDING!!!!!

[rawhide]

Yes, you are right. Sounds like something the Dims would be saying.

[KarlInOhio]

Scrappleface has me jumping the other way now. I used to get outraged at a Scrappleface story before I saw the source, but now I see an article like "[UK] School deems hot cross buns 'offensive'" and immediately think it is Scrappleface. It takes me a little while to see that it isn't satire.

Here's another headline you might be seeing soon from the democrats:

Full employment causing a heavy burden on day-care centers

[jocko12]

I think most of the workers are giving the money to the GOP.

[spintreebob]

If we're too tired to shop then we're too tired to spend, which means our debts will go down, our savings will go up, more money will be available and cheaper rates to start businessess, buy houses, etc.

And that is bad because.....

[CommieCutter]

Darn it! I was hoping this was true. I would've been using this ten years from now on people I know.
